MEMORANDUM TO: Eden Prairie City Council FROM: Eden Prairie Development Commission RE: Report of Activities DATE: October 12, 1977 The Eden Prairie Development Commission (formerly the Eden Prairie Industrial Commission) was reconstituted in the spring of 1977 by the City Council of Eden Prairie. Its activities and purposes are specified by Ordinance No. 79 as amended by Ordinance No. 77-4 and Ordinance No. 77-29. The Development Commission has no activities which are, as such, required to be performed. Furthermore, the Commission has not been mandated by ordinance or by the Council to "pass upon" any particular actions by the City or proposals to the City. However, in view of its duty to advise the Council (Ordinance No. 79), at the request of certain individual members of the Council as expressed at the Development Commission's first meeting on May 5, 1977, and on its own initiative, the Commission has commenced a number of activities. The purpose of this report is to bring the Council up to date with respect to the activities of the Commission and to make certain interim suggestions for the consideration of the Council. I. Business Climate One of the concerns expressed to the Commission by members of the Council was a feeling that in certain respects Eden Prairie did not 5X53 enjoy a favorable image in terms of its receptivity and responsiveness to the needs and desires of business. This image was seen as a potential impediment to the development of Eden Prairie in a desirable manner and to the creation of a tax base which would sustain the cost of utility and transportation systems already in place and necessary in the foreseeable future. As a consequence, the Development Commission has undertaken a survey of the business climate in the community. The survey form has been provided to representatives of businesses operating in Eden Prairie, including representatives of industry, commercial and retail establishments, financial institutions, builders, developers, real estate brokers and large land owners. The survey seeks to establish the reasons for doing business in Eden Prairie, positive attributes of the community and problems which have been encountered in establishment and operaticn of businesses in the City. The Commission intends to summarize the responses in a report to the Council. The Commission anticipates that to the extent positive attributes of the business climate in Eden Prairie are highlighted in the Report, these attributes can be used by both the public institutions and private entities interested in Eden Prairie in attracting the type of business and development that would enhance the quality of our community. To the extent that problems are identified, the Commission may make recommendations with respect to substantive matters or procedures which might alleviate the problems. II. Transportation Transportation has been identified as one of Eden Prairie's major problem areas. The apparent problem is the inadequacy of the transportation — 2 — a system for the present and future needs of the community. The underlying problem is financing needed construction. Financing difficulties, :in turn, have resulted in certain difficulties in obtaining rights of way and reaching agreement on assessments. Meanwhile, major arteries through the community (Highways 5, 169 and 212) and many local feeder routes remain in need of substantial improvement. In this connection, the Commission has reviewed the transportation 'report prepared by the Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce in the spring of 1977. In addition, it has discussed the report and various specific problems with the City Manager, Roger Ulstad, and with the City Engineer , Carl Jullie. Certain members of the Commission also attended a meeting held August 23, 1977 sponsored by the Chaska Chamber of Commerce which focused on the problems involved in moving forward on the Highway 212-169 corridor project. The major speaker at this session was Jim Harrington, Commissioner of the State Department of Transportation, who indicated that inadequate funds on the state and federal levels had placed the corridor development in a position of contending for funds with several other major arterials and bridges in the metropolitan area. The Development Commission believes that transportation must be one of the City's highest priorities. Faced with problems of obtaining funding, competing with other metropolitan areas for projects and working with users and land owners presents the City with a momentOus task. Nothwithstanding extraordinary efforts on the part of the staff, with the support of the Council, progress has not been adequate. Conseq u e n t l y , the Commission recommends that the Council delegate to the Commission - 3 - certain specific duties which may serve to assist the Council and t h e staff. Among these might be the following: 1. Review of transportation priorities for Eden Prairie. 2. Represent the City in contacting officials at the county, metropolitan and state levels in an attempt to speed up authorizations and funding for projects benefiting the community. 3. Assist in working with users, land owners, businesses and residents in seeking resolution of difficulties arising with respect to specific projects. III. Taxation In the area of taxation, the prime difficulty faced by the City of Eden Prairie is the effect of the fiscal disparities law on tax rev e n u e s generated in the City. While in broad terms this is a simple suije ^ t , the details of the operation of the statute and the political ramific a t i o n s are exceedingly complex. Other jurisdictions have considered the i m p a c t of fiscal disparities and have considered remedial action and legislat i o n . To date, Eden Prairie has been able to do little on its own initiativ e to achieve some relief from the impact of the fiscal disparities law. It is the understanding of the Commission that the Eden Prairie Cham b e r of Commerce plans to undertake a study of taxation as it affects Ede n Prairie, with emphasis on the fiscal disparities law. The Commission feels that in view of the willingness of the Chamber to undertake th i s study and in view of the lack of adequate time and staff resources available to the Commission itself, the Commission's study of this subject should be deferred until the report of the Chamber of Comme r c e is available. IV. Guide Plan Because the work on the revised Guide Plan for the City was undertaken well before the reconstitution of the Development Commission, the Development Commission was not given any specific role in the formulation of the Guide Plan. On an informal basis, and through various forums which have been held in the Community with respect to the Guide Plan, the members of the Commission are familiar with the procedures involved in the development of the Guide Plan. It is the understanding of the Commission that the draft of the Guide Plan is nearly complete and ready for Council and community review. The Commission suggests that the Commission be requested by the Council to review the Guide Plan and give the Council and staff any suggestions or comments as would be appropriate. In any event, the Commission believes that the adoption of the Guide Plan in the near future is essential to the City and its residents. The development of the community and planning by its residents, landowners and businesses will be affected to a great extent by the Guide Plan and it would be unfortunate if meritorious proposals are discouraged, delayed or defeated because of the lack of an up-to-date Guide Plan which incorporates the needs and desires of the City and its residents. V. Miscellaneous The Commission has also reviewed and made suggestions to the City staff concerning information for -new residents of the City (New Resident Packets), Industrial Revenue Bond financing by the City, attracting new business to the City, the City Sign Ordinance and Plying Cloud Airport. - 5 - 6 ' 1 timid ,1 TO: City Council RE: Community Survey Summary FROM: Development Commission At the joint meeting of the Council and the Development Commission, many members felt that Eden Prairie did not enjoy a favorable image in the Business Community. These concerns prompted the Development Commission's first charge - to survey the business climate of the community. The survey was accomplished by each member taking a section of the Business Community and asking a set number of questions, a copy of which is attached. The survey was held in the following areas of the business world: Building/Developing, Financial, Major Businesses and Land Owners now in Eden Prairie and Real Estate Companys. To further our research the Commission felt each member should attend other City Council Meetings around the Metropolitan area. This would enable them to see how other Councils conducted their business. All reports and survey results for each individual area are attached for your specific referral. Almost unanimously, the prime reason for locating in Eden Prairie was Its rje oa r a phic location. Areas to the north and east are developed so Eden Prairie is the next natural place for growth to be felt. Ratings of the Council, Commissions and Departments of the City were varied as were the experiences of the persons being suxveyed. The general consensus was a rating of "good". The following are some suggested areas where improvements can be made, and some of the general comments that were made during the survey: Ease of Developing and/or Building in Eden Prairie was rated by many as "needing improve me nt " . Building Permits were cited as a problem due to the length of time necessary to obtain one. City needs better trained and more competent decision makers. P.U.D. Development causes concern to lenders because added projects important to thz: overall concept would later sometimes be disapproved and thus jeopardizing the early Development loans. Seems to be lack of trust in some areas between Council and Staff. continued... More credibility should be given to the Commissions. It is hard to get Council to commit and make decisions. Need a better understanding of business and proponent needs. The City needs to do a selling job to make people feel wanted: From the above comments you can see and feel the frustration that is evident. We feel that whether the City likes it or not, it is in the Development Business. We, the City, made a commitment to development when we installed City Utilities in the early 70's. Now we must attract growth or the few people living here today will have to pay the bill. Decision makes must face up to the reality that Eden Prairie is not the only place to build in the Twin City Area. We must discourage the attitude of "What are you Mr. Proponent going to do for the City?" and adopt the new attitude ."How can the City help you?". We have a Guide Plan which has proved it can work and with a new updated Guide Plan we should give it credibility and reliability so that all developers, proponents, buyers and our citizens know where they stand. MEMORANDUM TO: Eden Prairie Development Commission FROM: Dean R. Edstrom DATE: October 24, 1977 RE: Business Climate Survey - Real Estate Developers The following developers were contacted: G. T. Mork & Co. Inc. Busted Development Corporation Edenvale Inc. The Preserve John Huston Condor Corporation Eagle Enterprises Rauenhorst Corporation Covenant Living Center Of the foregoing, seven responses were received. The following summarizes those responses. 1. The companies ranged in size from small to large in scale and included developers of homesites and commercial and industrial facilities. 2. Among the reasons for locating in Eden Prairie, City services were considered good. Geographical location was the most important reason for locating in Eden Prairie. The local labor market and transportation were not major factors. Among other factors were environmental considerations and community support for high quality housing development and commercial and industrial needs. 3. The responding developers comprehended the entire scope of development activities, and, following development, often continued as owners of industrial and commercial facilities in the City. The activities undertaken by these developers has had a'significant impact in Eden Prairie. 4. A number of ratings and impressions were given with respect to City institutions and processes: (a) Planning and zoning procedures were rated from good to poor. Comments were predominately critical, including reference to delays of over two years from initial proposal to authorization, the necessity to have completely detailed plans before authorizations can be obtained, political red tape and lack of practicality regarding development in Eden Prairie. Other comments were "confusing", "ponderous and economically insensitive" and "clumsy, redundant, unnecessarily elongated, unreliable". (b) Building permit procedures were rated all the way from very good to needs improvement. Two respondents rated these procedures excellent. The most negative comment termed them "cumbersome and expensive" and indicated that City charges are too high compared with other communities. One response was "OK, but slow", another noted that the department appeared to be understaffed, and a third indicated that recent staff changes have been an improvement. (c) Ease of developing and/or building in Eden Prairie was rated fair to poor. Comments focused on the difficulty of dealing with the length of the list of demands made on builders and the fact that there is no complete checklist of requirements. One characterized the City staff as "very demanding" while another has "enjoyed our relationship". (d) Taxation was rated fair and needs improvement, the major objection being extremely high valuations which offset a low mill rate. (e) City services were rated very good to needs improvement. Most developers seemed quite satisfied. Favorable comment was made on the public safety and fire departments. Negative comment focused on transportation facilities and widespread but under utilized underground facilities. (f) The general approval process was rated good to poor. Negative comments used the terms "floundering", "difficult", "too political". One respondent felt that "the process itself precludes the initiation of quality development as opportunities are presented within the City". (g) Manager and staff were rated very good or good. Comments included "accomodating and professional", "very fair and honest", "inexperienced", "improving", and "needing greater council Support". (h) The community was rated very good to fair, with a favorable emphasis. One respondent felt "the community is very responsive to businesses and conducive to business expansion" while another felt "older residents [are] extremely reluctant to allow new uses into town - afraid of anything but single-family homes on large lots". q6, - 2 - (i) City Council and Commissions were rated good to needs improvement. Comments were quite negative and focused on the unpredictability and inconsistency in the decision making process and lack of receptivity Co business and development proposals. ' (j) Incentives to locate in Eden Prairie were rated as fair, the location of the City being predominent. One said "location is about the only thing Eden Prairie has going for it now", while another cited "location, parks, good schools, good planning". (k) Land use was rated very good to poor. Comments focused on the political involvement in the process of developing land use patterns, which was seen to be a negative factor in most instances, and the preference of the respondents to have land use determined more by the market place. 5. Suggested areas where improvements can be made included the following recommendations: "better understanding of business/developer needs" - "speed up issuance of building permits" - "Council should have more 'backbone' in dealing with some residents who object to some types of development without valid reasons" "implementation of [the) walk-in, work-in and live-in policies of the past . . . due to environmental and energy advantages" "the Council must leave the direction of school district development within the community" - "elect new Council with representation of newer citizens" - "allow zoning commitments" - "quit bleeding new-comers" - "reduce commission reviews" "objective reports to the community" - "zone more property, have it in its inventory of zoned real estate, and rely less on the planned unit development concept" 6. Comparisons of Eden Prairie with other communities brought a variety of comments ranging from a favorable comment with respect to location, services and responsiveness to developers' needs, to negative comments relating to development climate, transportation facilities, and politization of the process. 7. General comments tended to repeat the comments made in other sections. - 3 - From: Mike Pohlen TO: Commission Members Subject: SURVEY OF FINANCIAL COMMUNITY Talking to the Financial Community did not lend itself to th e q u e s t i o n s suggested for determining the communLty climate of Eden Pra i r i e . N e v e r - theless, the following were contacted. NWSW Bank, Bloomington NW Bank, Hopkins First National Bank, Hopkins Suburban National, Eden Prairie Midwest Federal Savings and Loan Twin City Federal Savings and Loan Dein, Kalman 6 Quail, Inc. Piper, Jaffrey and Hopwood Two Attorneys - bond counsel type In most instances, the rating of Eden Prairie relative to other c o m m u n i t i e s was superior. Some specific examples which exemplify this g o o d r a t i n g w e r e : 1. Bond was not needed for landscaping - took word of banker. 2. Inspection Department greatly improved. 3. Financial personnel very cooperative. 4. Staff very accomodating - better than average. 5. City Manager very easy to work with - not unyielding as man y a r e . 6. Specials clerk responds promptly to requests. 7. Have specific set of gufblines for industrial revenue bonds . 8. Eden Prairie has a lot going for it - keep it up. Some of the things that were considered undesirable were as follows: (in most instances, the people interviewed wanted it understood t h a t t h e s e i t e m s were 2nd or 3rd hand and not personal experiences.) 1. PUP development causes concern of lenders because added proje c t s Important to the overall area concept could later be disapproved and thus jeopardize the early development loans. 2. The zoning and development approval process seems to be too l e n g t h y - some accomodating effort could be made during a persons first appearance before a city body. 3. Seems to be lack of trust in some areas between council and staff. 4. Sometimes a lack of business sense by the council; little con c e r n • for the financial exposure of the developer. 5. Council could take the word of their experts at times and no t t r y to be experts themselves. 6. Ordinances for the City may not be Adequate to serve the exp a n d i n g needs of the City. Generally, the results wore very positive. Most of these p e o p l e w e r e d e a l i n g with projects a( ter they had seen there way through the Commissions and Council. They felt Eden Prairie was better than most communities and complimen t e d t h e StaffA3aM there cooperative spirit. /kg,. ./Arn---- To: E. P. Development Commission From: Mike Pollen • Subject: Visit to Minnetonka Council Meeting, July 18, 1977, 6:30 p.m. The meeting was begun promptly at 6:30 with two of seven members absent. One member joined the others at 6:45 and the major left about 8:30 p.m. and did not return. The seating of the council was widely spaced and did not allow readily for back and forth consultation - each had a microphone. Everyone talking to the council was required to come to a lecturn which had a microphone attached. The recorder used a tape recorder to take the minutes. An attorney and the acting city manager were in attendance and were required to answer many questions. Also available were many staff members. They made references often to regularly scheduled "work sessions" for background information on issues and projects. The agenda for the meeting was lengthy and a copy of same will be attached to the chairman's copy of this memo. Most items were handled routinely with votes taken when appropriate. The mayor voted on every issue. Citizens were given an opportunity to comment on issues affecting them. It was interesting to note that they changed from disapproval to approval of a ernv:1 mining project during che meeting by simple discussion 141.1 the applicant for the permit. There was lengthy discussion on a sign ordinance and they seem quite a ways along on this problem. They gave final approval to a zoning change and a proposed development project while they had six council persons available because 6 of 7 was needed for the approval. It did seem worthwhile to have seven people available for decision making. In all, it was an orderly meeting with only one incident where a council- person did not act in a very professional manner. Generally, I was impressed. r REPORT PROM: TIM PIERCE TO: DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION MYMBETLS RE: COMMUNITY SURVEY - BUILDERS • This survey was held by personal and telephone interviews. The fol l o w i n g i s a list of the builders contacted: Ban Con Windsor H 0 1113 s Pemtom Trumpy Home.s, Inc. Ecklund & Swedlund Lundgren Bros. Joe Semrad Miller llamas Eliason Builders 1. The size of the above builders ranges from 12 to 100 homes plus built p e r year with some building townhornes and apartments. II. The predominant reason for building in Eden Prairie is geographical loc a t i o n . Areas to the north and east are developed so Eden Prairie is the natural next place for growth to be felt. Transportation is second with the acc e s s to Highway 494 being mentioned as a good plus factor. III. The degree of activity in Eden Prairie was as Builders and/or Land Develo p e r s or persons considering building or developing in Eden Prairie. IV. The impressions of the different City Departments are as varied as the ex - periences of the person being surveyed. General impressions are "good t o very good", except for oLtaining Building Permits and the ease of develop i n g and/or building in Eden Prairie... These twa areas are in between "fair" an d "need improvement" . V. The following are suggested areas of improvement and general comments: A. Streamlining Energy Codes might help speed up Permits; B. Co-ordination between Departments with regard to permits. Persons surveyed didn't seem to think City Hall knew how long it takes to obtain permits; C. Mare credibility should be given to Commissions: I. Projects reworked by Council; 2. Unknown factor of not knowing where you stand. D. It is hard to get Council to commit and make a decision. Further delays incurred when Council sends project back to Commission. 1 ,W '- E. There is much concern. about future of Schools and Bond Referendum. F. It is difficult to take a risk with unkown factors being so great. VI. When asked to compare Eden Prairie to other communities they are working In or have worked in, Eden Prairie is always last. My feelings are that the above comments are due to the fact that in Eden Prairie you never know where you stand until you are in front of the Council. It would be good to note that when a developer or builder does appear in front of the Council it is usually two months or more after he has started through the process. To have the Council requestion and redesign a project after it already as the Commission's approval is very difficult for the developer or builder to under- stand, especially when by the time they have reached the Council they have already invested a great deal of time and money. MEMORANDUM TO: Eden Prairie Development Commission FROM: Dick Feerick DATE: September 20, 1977 SUBJECT: Community Climate Survey A nuMber of business firms were contacted to solicit their comments on our communities overall climate. The firms contacted included: Rosemount Eaton MTS Gelco Water Products Roll Tank Lyman Lumber Wilson Learning FotoMark Minnesota Tree One of the major reasons for locating in Eden Prairie was geographic location. This reason continually reoccurred with all of the firms surveyed. Otr reasons such as labor market and transportation were mentioned. The responses on the surveys ranged from one individual who was com- pletely satisfied with everything in Eden Prairie, to a number of responses that raised questions and concerns, and to the pinpointing of specific areas by several responses that indicated real concerns or problem areas. The survey forms will be provided for discussion at our next meeting. One area that received-attention was planning and zoning procedures. The planning and zoning procedures were noted as being tedious and drawn out and lacking in sense of urgency. A number of four and five ratings were present in this category. The council and commissions were also mentioned in a number of replies as being slow and unpredictable and slow to react. A number of four ratings were present here. Problem areas were noted as to roads and traffic, the need to consider metal buildings, the PUD process being our biggest problem, and too much system and bureaucracy. The comment was also made that the council and commissions should work better together and place a greater degree of reliance on staff recommendations. A statement by the Pres- ident of MTS it also attached to this report because it indicates the frustration a major business has experienced in our city and is probably indicative of the reasons why he is locating his next major plant in Chanhassen. One final comment, the Comprehensive Guide Plan update has been in pro- cess since the middle of 1975. This update is to revise the original plan prepared in the late 60's and is suppose to address our planning as well as applicable ordinances. ,%,t1 WHY MTS LOCATED IN EDEN PUAIRIE Why Eden Prairie - MTS was a small c o m p a n y . O u r o r i g i n ' was a demerger from another company l o c a t e d i n E d e n P r a i r i e . It was natural as a small company which had grown up in a small town to be most comfortable remaining th e r e . W e k n e w t h e t o w n m a n a g e - ment and they knew us. We respected the town needs, it s p l a n s and they did ours. There was a mini m u m o f b u r e a u c r a c y a n d a l o t o f human respect, consideration, and und e r s t a n d i n g . As MTS has grown from three million i n s a l e s i n 1 9 6 6 t o twenty-four million sales in 1976, we have maintained an objec t i v e to "grow but stay small". We want t o i n c r e a s e o u r s i z e f o r m a n y reasons, but we work hard to mainta i n t h e b e h a v i o r ( r e s p o n s i v e n e s s , involvement, and responsibility) of a s m a l l o r g a n i z a t i o n . I d o n o t honestly feel that the village, whic h b e c a m e a c i t y , h a s g r o w n i n such a way. I think bureaucracy has s e t i n n o t i c e a b l y , t h a t human relationships have been separ a t e d b y d o c u m e n t a t i o n . I t i s distressing and yet not unexpected. We are still proud of our operation h e r e a n d w h a t t h e c i t y has achieved and we will surely rem a i n i n E d e n P r a i r i e - b u t w e are very seriously searching for a " s m a l l t o w n p l a c e " t o u n d e r t a k e future expansion. / feel that at the present time, the r e i s t o o m u c h s y s t e m between people who live in, operate i n a n d w o r k f o r t h e c i t y o f Eden Prairie. That system grows continua l l y unless it is planned In other directions. 4(01 1 F. CLAYTON TONNEMAKER 5120 PENN AVENUE SOUTH. SUITE 546 • BLOOMINGTON.

Edstrom, Chairman Eden Prairie Development Commission Doherty, Rumble & Butler 3750 IDS Tower Minneapolis, MN 55402 Dear Dean: I would like to give you a brief report on the Bloomington City Council meeting T attended last night. I have enclosed a copy of their agenda. The Mayor started the meeting at 7:04 p.m., with 6 of the 7 Councilmen in attendance, plus the City Manager, City Attorney and various staff members. The Mayor ran the entire 21 hours of the wecting that I attended; I l'ailed out at 9:30 during a detailed discussion of a sewer extension along West 94th Street. My general impressions of the Meeting are: 1. The meeting Was conducted efficiently and expeditiously. 2. I sensed no animosity toward anyone between the Councilmen, Mayor or staff. Everyone was treated with respect. 3. All private citizens that asked to speak on a particular subject were treated with courtesy and the Council appeared genuinely interested in their comments. 4. Correct parlimentary procedures were followed and only once did I see a little confusion when 2 Councilmen were discussing which motion should be voted on. 5. It appeared that a'couple of the Councilmen were self appointed "fiscal watchdogs" and questioned most expenditures that were brought before the Council. I don't have a lot of Council watching experience on which to draw, but based on what I do have I would give the Bloomington Council an 8 on the 0 worst - 10 best scale.

Edstrom RE: Burnsville City Council Meeting - September 19, 1977 I attended the meeting of the Burnsville City Council on September 19, 1977. A copy of the agenda for the meeting is attached. The meeting began promptly at 7:30 p.m. Four of the five Council members were in attendance as well as the City Manager and three or four other staff personnel. There were about fifteen in the audience. The meeting was quite short and was adjourned at 8:40 p.m. I was favorably impressed by the conduct of the meeting and would note the following particulars: 1. The general tone of the meeting was friendly and helpful. The mayor, who ran the meeting, went out of his way to explain to other members of the Council, applicants for action before the Council and the audience generally the nature of matters that were under consideration, whether or not particular questions or objections were being raised. With respect to one applicant for a building permit, when it became apparent that the construction material proposed would not qualify under the City standards, the Council and staff tried to be helpful, but not critical, in suggesting both construction alternatives and procedures which would expedite Council approval. Ultimately, the matter was deferred to a later time on the agenda, by which time the builder had developed a solution which both he and the staff felt would be satisfactory. The Council approved the building permit subject to the use of three or four alternative specified materials. 2. The meeting was conducted quite efficiently. The informative introduction of agenda items and requests for motions by the mayor resulted in a minimum of time lost in general discussion and phrasing of motions. There appeared to be a general dc:,irc to air the issues and reach decisions with no desire to postpone matters to later dates. o 7 / 3. The meeting was conducted in an informal and friendly manner. The mayor, the members of the Council and the . staff all addressed each other on a first name basis. • Council members, staff and applicants spoke without requesting recognition by the chair. Applicants and members of the audience were treated very courteously. 4. A good working relationship with the City staff was evident. The recommendations of the City Manager and other members of his staff were obviously well received and appreciated by the Council. On various matters the ultimate action taken by the Council was, in fact, a consensus reached among the individual members of the Council and staff on an easy conversational basis. The members of the Council were very complementary of the work of the staff on various matters. 5. The Council chambers were very well appointed and uncluttered. The use of microphones by the Council and by most of the participants in discussion made the proceedings audible to everyone in the room. 6. The members of the Council appeared to work very well with each other. They appeared to have mutual respect for each other's questions and ideas and were very accomodating to the views of others. As a consequence, all of the action taken was by unanimous vote. I would not infer from this, however, that the Council members were operating under the total guidance of the mayor or the staff. Rather, each of them obviously had particular ideas, concerns and wishes which were made evident and taken into consideration in the course of the proceedings. After the meeting I had an opportunity to chat with a few of the Council and staff members. They indicated that the major issue of recent concern in Burnsville has been dissention in the Public Safety Department. These matters have been publicized in the metropolitan press. They did not gcem to think that there were major problems in the development area. Development has generally been permitted within the scope of its guidcplan and zoning ordinance. The Council members and staff seemed proud of the growth of Burnsville and they pointed out that whereas Burnsville and Eden Prairie had fairly equal populations fifteen or twenty years ago Burnsville now has a population nearly three times the size of Eden Prairie. A copy of the agenda for the meeting is attached. TO: Eden Prairie Development Commission FROM: Tim Pierce SUBJECT: Maple Grove City Council DATE: July 18, 1977 The following were my observations and feelings: The Meeting was held in a very Informal nature. First names were prevalent within the Council and also with the citizens and proponents. Staff and Commission recommendations seemed to be accepted readily. Reference was made to a Council work session held the prior week. Final and preliminary plats and materials were handed out to the Members of the Council at the meeting. The City Manager took the role of explaining and defending City's decisicn:.; and also very actively answered citizen's questions and concerns. Cost et developing and type of lots are very comparable to Eden Prairie. The Agenda for the City Council Meeting included the following paragraph: "The City Council is provided background information for each agenda item in advance from City staff a n d appointed commissions. Decisions are based on this information and past experiences. Since we do not have time to dis- cuss every point presented, it may seem that decisions are preconceived. If you are aware of information that hasn't been discussed, please raise your hand to be recognized. Comments that are pertinent are appreciated." A short conversation with their City Manager left me with the impression th:It. the City is growing in all directions. They issued 100 building permits in ti:e month of June and have 2,000 single family lots coming before Council. Two Shopping Centers are in the planning stages. Business was conducted very efficiently yet cars wom available when citi:mns raised concerns. A "Can Do" attitude seemed very evident within the Council. MEMORANDUM TO: Eden Prairie Development Commission FROM: Richard M. Feerick SUBJECT: Plymouth City Council Meeting . DATE: . July 12, 1977 The City of Plymouth has the reputation for being a good location for development and for running a very business-like operation. I had the opportunity to attend their Council meeting Monday, July 11th. The following observations were made during the course of the meeting: First names were used throughout the meeting. Also many "Sirs" to those speaking to issues. The environment was one of courtesy. Speakers were thanked for their comments. Al Hilde (Mayor) was very sympathetic and provided explanations to the public. A problcm soh ;.g attitude was exhibited by the Council. The City Manager took the vote call on all decisions. He was an active participant at the table when discussion occurred. The attitude was very business-like. Hilde would comment, "That's OK with me, how about you guys?", or "How can we do this simply?" Commission reports were referred to by Council. Petitioners usually left in a happy frame of mind. If a motion failed, the response was to secure an alternative motion that would carry. The Council worked well together, (none felt a need to give a speech). Hilde wmated as a facilitator, and they all attempted to resolve all matters possible at the time of their meeting. Plymouth's circumstances are different than ours, and there are some weak areas present. However, I thought their Council's approach worth documentation.

Request from residents of The Preserve regarding Windslope City Manager Ulstad explained that the City has received a request from a number of residents in and around the Windslope project, and that a representative of the residents is present to outline their specific request. Mark Scholle, 8742 Leeward Circle, and Sandra Bell, 8730 Leeward Circle, requested that the City Council dismiss the lawsuit against Windslope Associates, et. al., regarding the exterior siding on the Windslope Apartments, as Windslope Associates has offered the following residents a buffer of landscaping on their properties: Violet Spear, Mark & Barbara Scholle, Thomas & Judith Duke, Larry and Sandra Bell, Carl & LeeAnn Bisson, William & Margaretha Ebersole, Melvin & Marie Root, Bruce & Patricia Zadach, James & Paula Rugloski, and Carol Paul. Mr. Scholle also outlined the landscaping plan to the Council. Douglas Rainbow, legal counsel for National Housing Partnerships, spoke to the agreement, stating that he had presented one copy of the agreement to the petitioners and one to City Attorney Perbix. City Attorney Perbix commented that the City was not a part of any of these discussions between the residents and Windslope, and did not participate in nor encourage such action. Mr. Retterath, 9011 High Point Circle, stated he has a great deal of sympathy for the people who live adjacent to the Windslope project but feels the people have been intimidated right from the beginning. He further explained that there is a special committee which is called the Design Review Committee that has not been made aware of anything that has taken place here this evening, the people in the whole Preserve area have not been involved, and they are not following the guidelines of the area. Bye stated he finds the Council in a strange position in defending some people who have given up and does not see it as the City's position at this time to withdraw the declaratory judgement. Bye further commented he thought The Preserve management should be in attendance when an action is requested of the Council on a project in The Preserve. Council Minutes - 3 - Tues.,October 18, 1977 A. Request from residents of The Preserve regarding Windslope (continued) MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Bye, to continue this item to the.

Council requested that residents in The Preserve who signed the petition received March 22, 1977, be notified that this item will be on the November 15th Council meeting. B.

White the policy reinforces what the school district and city originally sought in such a program, it also brings in the support of good communications. Thus, the goal is to improve the community educatiou program by doing what we said we wanted to do in the first place. To provide an in-depth explanation of this proposed policy, I am requesting that you pnovide the school district with time on the November 15 city council meeting agenda to enable Mrs. Jeanne Phillips, the Educational Program Director, to briefly present the policy with its underlying rationale.

There are presently 13 radio dispatch facilities in Hennepin County, some of which dispatch to but three to four vehicles while the Sheriff's center dispatches to as many as 70. It has been said that this system, which we use also, could be considered a danger to officers who depend on it. As a result, the attached agreement describes the need for HECO to conduct a study for the feasability of grouping communities together and sharing radio frequencies. I feel that itt imperative for our community to participate in this study because the Sheriff's system will become increas- ingly crowded in the next two to three years. I would appreciate your assistance in requesting funds be made available for the project by our City Council. HENNEPIN SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT 6 Courthouse Minneapolis, Minnesota 55415 Don Omodt, Sheriff October 28, 1977 Mr. Roger Ulstad City Manager City of Eden Prairie 8950 County Road 4 Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55344 Attention: Director of Public Safety Jack Hacking Dear Mr. Ulstad: The Board of Directors of the Hennepin Emergency Communicatlons Organization (RECO) met on Thursday, October 20th. The main purpose of HECO is twofold: First, we must prepare for the advent and implementation of 911 telephone service. We can report to you that a work program has been adopted, and we are proceeding on schedule and satisfactorily in this regard. The second main purpose is to work toward a plan to better utilize the scarce and precious radio frequencies available to the several public safety organizations in Hennepin County. The HECO Agreement contemplates, at least, some consolidation or combination of police and fire dispatch facilities. A target date of July 1, 1978, is established by the MECO Joint Powers Agreement for a decision on this aspect. To date, we have made little progress towards a resolution. It is imperative, we believe, that HECO now commence an engineering study from which, among other things, we can best combine or consolidate some or all of the several dispatch operations and make better use of the existing frequencies. The HECO Executive Committee is in the process of preparing a Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA) grant request for the funds necessary to finance an engineering study that will recommend alternative methods of achieving the objectives of HECO. The estimated cost Is $60,000. There is some doubt whether HECO will be able to get the grant funds, not because of any questions regarding the importance and desirability of this project, but rather because of prior commitments of the funds. It seems that the best that HECO can hope for is the use of reversionary funds, that is, funds that have already been allocated for some project but have not been spent. We do not expect to receive a definitive answer to the grant request until July 1978. In the meantime, we believe that it is in the best interests of the entire County that we proceed with the engineering study so that we can have the information available before next July, (1978). and be able to make the necessary decisions. If this is done, it is possible that immediate substantial savings in the 911 installation, and recurring cost of dispatching can be accomplished.

Some money will be needed and soon. If the grant request is unsuccessful, all will be needed. If we get the grant, the direct cost to the members will be less. The Executive Committee has evolved a formula for payment of the amount necessary which we are calling "1978 dues". This is not to be construed as an ongoing amount. The formula is as follows: POPULATION NO. OF MEMBERS 1978 DUES DUES x NO. Over 50,000 40 to 50,000 30 to 40,000 20 to 30,000 10 to 20,000 Under 10,000 3 3 4 3 3 5 $5300 $4400 $3500 $2600 $1700 $ 800 $15,900 $13,200 $14,000 $ 7,800 $ 5,100 $ 4 000 $60,000 The Board of Directors will meet again on November 23, 1977. We need to have your commitment, as well as all others, by that date. We trust that this will allow adequate time for City Council consideration and action. If any of us can be of help with additional information, please advise. Or, you can get assistance from John O'Sullivan, Director of Hennepin County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, telephone 348-6497, or from Jim Brekken, wits is on loan to HECO from the Bloomington Police Department. He can be contacted through Mr. O'Sullivan's Office or at Bloomington, 884-3591. If we do not receive the necessary commitments on November 23rd, some members, because of immediate and pressing needs, will go ahead on their own with what we consider a piecemeal engineering study. We do not believe a limited study will be in the best interests of all, but we understand it may be necessary considering the special needs of these member communities.

Erickson City Administrator John F. -Fischbach City Manager HENNEPIN EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS ORGANIZATION TO: All HECO Members FROM: Staff DATE: November 2, 1977 SUBJECT: BACKGROUND INFORMATION The following material was developed at the request of the Executive Committee for your use when presenting the request for dues to your governing board. Police communications, or more precisely the effective use of radio technology, has been a subject of discussion and controversy ever since the two-way radio was first used by police. As the technology and equipment have become more sophisticated, generally, the police became more adept at making full use of these resources. However, in recent years technological advances have not been fully used due to extremely high costs and, perhaps more importantly in our own jurisdiction, the limited number of radio frequencies has severely hampered the implementation of changes which could insure a more effective use of radio tech- nology. At the present time there are a number of agencies in Hennepin County that are sharing police radio frequencies which are so congested by normal use that the full benefits of two-way radio systems are not possible. In simple terms, no additional frequencies are available and alternative solutions must be found. The most straightforward solution is the redistribution and sharing of the avail- able radio frequencies. This sharing can take the form of two or more adjacent communities sharing a single radio frequency with each maintaining its own dis- patching center; or there can be "clustering" in which two or more communities share a radio frequency and use one dispatching center with the costs of dis- patching being shared among the participants; or there can be full consolida- tion where all public safety dispatching takes place in one center and all com- munities pay a fair share of the operating costs. Even though the solution seems simple, there was no mechanism whereby the vari- ous communities in the county could cooperatively institute change without peripheral issues such as parochial interests, competition among agencies and suspicion as to motives getting in the way. The result was a lot of talk and speculation, but no action. In response to these problems, the Hennepin County Criminal Justice Council Communications Steering Committee initiated a series of planning activities which resulted in a recommendation to create an organization wherein all members participated as co-equals with adequate safeguards to assure user control. The organization that evolved was the Hennepin Emergency Communications Organi- zation (HECO), a joint power organization with 23 member units of government which range in size from the city of Medicine Lake to the city of Minneapolis. November 2, 1977 Page Two A review of the joint power agreement highlights why HECO was created. It was created to plan for the "reallocation and the greater sharing of the frequency channels available..."; to explore the feasibility "to have the several existing dispatch facilities consolidated into a lesser number, with one centralized facility possibly providing enhanced public safety services and the best opportunity for application of current and future technological developments"; to develop "a plan and operating procedures for an integrated and coordinated public safety communications system which includes county- wide 911 telephone service...." In addition, the agreement provides a means to operate such a center or centers should that be the decision of the HECO Board and to assess the operating costs to the participating members based upon an established formula. HECO as an organizational entity exists and appears theoretically able to make significant improvements in public safety communications but, like a rocket without fuel, it is a very static achievement. Just as the rocket needs fuel to do the job for which it was intended, HECO needs "fuel" to ac- complish results. The "fuel" needed for HECO is a mixture of participation, cooperation and resources. Each member of HECO has been asked to consider a request for dues to under- write the cost of conducting a study which will, among other things, determine the future of HECO. To begin to make system improvements, HECO needs a great deal of information and advice which will serve as the basis for decisions by individual members and as the basis for recommending detailed operational im- provements. The study is crucial if system improvements are to be made. The issues facing HECO can be summarized as follows: 1. Some radio frequencies are currently overloaded to the extent that the quality of service is marginal. The County system is now at this point. 2. Some radio frequencies in the county are underused. 3. When frequencies are licensed by an agency they are literally "owned" by that agency. Therefore, it is logical to conclude that a reallocation or sharing of frequen- cies is necessary and that any sharing or reallocation will require the willing cooperation of those members who currently control radio frequencies. 4. Capital costs of dispatching equipment continue to increase and most of the present radio dispatching centers will require significant investments for new equipment within three to six years. By reduc- ing the number of dispatching centers through clustering or consoli- dation, it is possible to minimize the impact of capital spending for dispatching equipment. November 2, 1977 Page Three 5. By reducing the number of dispatching centers and by instituting a procedure wherein each community pays its fair share of the dis- patching costs, it is likely that the cost to each agency will be more equitable and, in some cases, the cost per agency will actually be less than its current expenditures for public safety communica- tions. The following will be included in the study. 1. Community profiles will be developed which will reflect the current and projected public safety communications needs of each community. 2. An inventory and description of the current use of all radio fre- quencies available for public safety purposes. 3. Professional engineering services will be provided to: evaluate existing radio and dispatching equipment, recommend reallocation of frequencies, recommend system improvements, recommend cluster or consolidation arrangements (technical aspects), assist in dispatch center site selections and design of facilities, develop specifica- tions for modifying existing equipment for use in consolidated or cluster center, revise county 911 plan to conform with system changes, es.,,luate equipment needs, and assist in developing detailed imple- mentation plans. Several alternative methods of system. Improvement will be described as options for consideration by the .HECO members with each alternative including a des- cription of its general operational features. At the last HECO Board meeting a question was raised as to the status of the potential for LEAA funding for this purpose. The Executive Committee has directed staff to continue the preparation of such a grant request; however, you should be aware that at the time the HECO Executive Committee approved the work pro- gram, there was a strong likelihood that LEAA funding would be available for at least the first year of operation of HECO. Within the last few weeks, that situation has changed to the extent that it is now virtually certain that LEAA funds will not be available for a grant to operate HECO. Therefore, if HECO Is to produce any results, the members must demonstrate their commitment to improving public safety communications by underwriting the start-up costs and this project directly by dues or other contributions.

Ulstad, City Manager FROM: Marty Jessen, Director of Community Services/U . SUBJECT: Request by Snowdrifters Snowmobile Club to sponsor Trail Grant Application. DATE: November 10, 1977 I've been contacted by a member of the Snowdrifters Club concerning their desire to apply for Minnesota DNR funds for marking and grooming of a snowmobile trail in the City. The club has previously secured easements and authorization from the property owners to establish such a trail and the grant .request would be for purchase of signs and for grooming of the trail during the season. The club would do all of the work in conjunction with the signage and grooming. The City's only responsibility would be to serve as the agent to make the application and channel the funds on through to the Snowmobile Club. On November 7, 1977 the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission recommended that the City serve as the sponsor for the Trail Grant Application per the general alignment shown on the attached map, subject to the condition that no tax money be expended on implementing the trail. 2 3 I 4 5 6 1___I_81__1____L9__.±___ .S.,...1.4-•:1-1c—c•-14..,.. $-..,4----....-7-7:: M..

There is no government grant funding available right now to use in purchasing these parcels. With that basis I have begun to explore the possibility of "borrowing" money to use now in purchasing the land. A couple of possibilities exist with the 2 best options as follows: 1. METROPOLITAN PARKS FOUNDATION - A non-profit corporation primarily intended to "advance acquire" land for parks. The Foundation is receiving the "conservancy zone gift" from the Hustad's for later conveyance to the City. The Foundation acquires the land and holds it for the public agency to buy later at an agreed upon rate and conditions. They are reimbursed all costs including principal, interest, taxes, and miscellaneous (legal, appraisal, etc.). One of the conditions of the agreement could be receipt of grant funding from an outside source by the Cit. The obvious advantage to .this arrangement is the fact that the City would be able to pay "today's prices" plus actual costs rather than an inflated land value at a later date. 2. "AN EDEN PRAIRIE PARKS FOUNDATION" - This could be of much value over the years in the continued implementation of the of the City's Parks System. The goal and purpose of the Foundation would be to accept gifts and arrange financing for parks projects where City funding is not currently available. The obvious advantages of the Metropolitan Parks Foundation are: . It's all set up and ready to go. . They have previous experience in getting this kind of deal done. Preliminary conversations with Clif French, Secretary to the Foundation, lead me to believe that we could secure financing if the City is willing to enter into a suitable agreement. The question then becomes one of where does the City get the money to "pay off" the Foundations "loan" at a later date. These options have been discussed at length earlier during the review of the Purgatory Creek Study during 1974/75 (?). The conditions have not changed significantly since then. The Purgatory Creek Corridor is identified on the Metropolitan ) (over) -2- Trails System Plan as a Regional Corridor. Federal LAWCON funding could also be applied for to assist in purchasing this land. Finally, the Riley/Purgatory • Creek Watershed District could also assist in the purchase. The likelihood of funding (at least partial) is good. If the City needs to pay a portion of the purchase price the Commercial/Industrial CASH PARK FEE ($1,200/ acre) could be used. )gr MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council • THRU: - FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: Roger K. Ulstad, City Manager Marty Jessen, Director of Community Services/01. J. Purgatory Funding November 10, 1977 On Monday, November 7, 1977 the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission reviewed the attached memo on potential methods of generating "immediate money" for purchase of land along Purgatory Creek. They asked that I bring this matter to you on your November 15 Agenda for information and discussion. 5.90 • r!.s.1U 17.t.CiLJD r.11:•2r4:7....10TA C C31 ; 041 -1(':.c10 r•:0 •1 77-70-1 cvvral November 9, 1977 TO: THROUGH: FROM: SUBJECT: Roger K. Ulstad; City Manager Marty Jessen, Director of Community Services Don Brauer, Brauer & Associates, Inc. Cash Park Fee Applied To Edenvale and Preserve PUD's Our records are quite sparse on the subject of the review of the Edenvale and Preserve PUD's because we did not make formal reviews for the City at that time. We did some "staff" work (calculations of areas and some checking in ownerships - copies of which you have in City files), and I did meet informally with George Hite on several occasions to discuss the proposals. My recollections at this time are based on notes in my Day Timer books. 1. I see no re son why the City Council cannot change, terminate or initiate new policies at any time, subject only to the "reasonable" test. Given that posture, there is no reason why the Preserve and Edenvale should not be expected to abide by new policies from the Cate of that new polity. 2. I have reviewed Marty Jessen's calculations of PUD contribution and development values measured against the CASH PARK FEE re- quirements today, ,ind have no basis for disagreeing with the approach, the values, or the conclusions, with one exception as follows: a. The Edenvale PUD covered some 270 acres of previously zoned land. That area included 120 acres of golf course land zoned M2 (General Industrial). Brauer & Associates, Inc., had previously recommended (informally agreed to by the Simes I believe) that M2 was inappropriate and should be changed to the designation recommended in the 1968 Compre- hensive Plan for privately owned and operated public use recreational facilities (Quasi-Public). b. The 150 acre balance, however, was that area between TM 5, the railroad and Purgatory Creek. Most of that (130 acres) was zoned Special Industrial, and 20 acres was zoned (and partially occupied) M2. Because all of the land along TM 5 was subject to acquisition by condemnation for improving TH 5, it was decided that it would be most unfair (if not confiscatory) to remove that zoning classification when acquisition seemed reasonably possible. The Plan Study designation was "invented" to help those owners "preserve" the former value in Case highway acquisition occurred. 57/1 .lessen -2- Novei,ber 9, 1977 c. The 150 acre area was also consistent with the uses proposed in the Edenvale PUD. New zoning was required only to make the classification consistent with the new zoning ordinance systems. A new plat was also required, but again, this was an improvement of an existing condition, not a totally new proposal. 3. Eased upon this analysis I would revise the Edenvale calculation as follows: OTHER LAND USES 223 acres x $1,200 = $267,600 less 150 acres (previously zoned) x $1,200 = $180,000 Total $537,600 This would compare to Marty Jessen's calculation of $571,000 as the value of existing and proposed public and private recreation land and facilities in the PUD area. 4. Summar ,' With the one modification outlined above it seems that both major PUD's have (or will) measure up to the requirements of the CASH PARK FEE ordinance.. The question of "values" assigned to land and facilities is, of course, one of judgement rather than fact. The figures which have been used seem reasonable and appropriate. Since the Value of the land and facilities in the original PUD proposals exceed the income which could be derived from an appli- cation of the CASH PARK FEE, I recommend that the City elect to continue to enforce the original PUD concept of dedication and construction of facilities rather than application of the CASH PARK FEE for Edenvale and the Preserve. dgbA 5911 - 2 - 2.7), ' B.

PAUL, 55101 Environmental Quality Board November 3, 1977 Christopher Enger Planning Director Village of Eden Prairie 8950 Eden Prairie Road Eden Prairie, MN 55343 RE: Crosstown Industrial Park and Crosstown Park Dear Mr. Enger: Thank you for giving us the opportunity to provide our comments on the above referenced projects. As you are aware, the 1977 Minnesota Environ- mental Quality Board Rules provide that the local agency is responsible for determining if an environmental impact statement (EIS) on an industrial development exceeding 175,000 square feet of industriaJ floor space is needed. It is our understanding that two separate applications are currently being reviewed by the City which are adjacent, serviced by a single access road, and affect the same geographic area. Minn. Rules 6 MCAR § 3.025 E. Related Actions requires that: When two or more actions are related, they shall be considered as a single action and their cumulative potential effects on the environment shall be considered in determining whether an EIS is required ... In order for the City to determine if an EIS is needed on these proposals, they should be considered collectively. The environmental assessment work- sheet (EAW) is the proper format for making this determination. Therefore, It is the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) staff's opinion that these projects, due to their location, timing, and effects, should be considered collectively and fall under the mandatory assessment category 6 MCAR 3.025 fhb. As the Responsible Agency, the City of Eden Prairie would complete the LAW and distribute in accordance with the enclosed list. An affadavit of mailing should be attached to the copy of the EAW that is sent to Mary Sullivan, EQB Administrator. 1)-'12/ "AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER" Page 2 Upon receipt of the EAW and affadavit of mailing by Mr. Sullivan, the conclusions of the Responsible Agency on the need for an EIS on the project, that is a Negative Declaration (no EIS) or Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) preparation notice, will be published in the EQB Monitor. This usually takes 1-1 11 weeks. Following publication in the EQB Monitor, there is a 30-day review period of the decision. If no objections to the decision are made, the decision stands. If ob- jections are filed, the EQB will review the matter and determine whether or not an EIS is required. Please note that if an EAW is required, the Environmental Review Program Rules state that no final actions to approve or commence an action can be taken until after the EAW has been reviewed or until the EIS is done, if one is needed. This ensures that measures needed to minimize environ- mental impacts, which are discovered during environmental review, can be included in the project or as permit conditions. If you have any additional questions on this procedure or the Rules, please do not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely, eita4-ea .6)4f4r -- Charles R.

Many of the small mammals and birds in the area will be eliminated or displaced. The amount of food and habitat generally will be reduced, eliminating the potential to produce wildlife proportionately. Territorial concerns of certain animals will be disrupted. Changes in microclimate and the presence of man's environment will probably increase the popula- tion of certain undesirable species including housemice, Norway Rats, Starlings and English Sparrows. In summary, the impact to the wildlife on the site will be negative. The introduction of noise, increased emissions, decrease in food, territorial boundaries and man's presence will all influence the decrease. -4d- D. HYDROLOGY 1.

The intersection of Valley View Road and Co. Rd. 18 has recently been upgraded. . 2. Metropolitan Transit Commission's bus 53S, has a route along US 169/212 with a park-n-ride at Eden Prairie Shopping Center and a stop at Co.Rd. 60 (Valley View Road) and finally at Tracy and Xerxes in Edina. The possibility exists that this bus routo may be able to have a stop at Shady Oark Road if there is enough demand for such a stop. If this stop became part of the route for 53S it would leave the passenger about 1/2 mile from the industrial park. 3. Several transit options exist for Eden Prairie as outlined in the "Transit Potentials Interim Report". Eden Prairie Center is expected to be the center of activity in the area so it seems the logical location is plan for several transit options. These include Coordinated Transfer Service,Park-N-Ride Service &Car and Van Pooling. Others not necessarily dependent on Eden Prairie Center as a central location are Fixed Route Deviation and Demand Responsive Service. -8b- 3.

FINDINGS EAW CROSSTOWN INDUSTRIAL PARK/CROSSTOWN PARK 1. The project is in an industrial area and has been designated for Industrial and related uses in the 1968 Guide Plan and the 1974 Smetana Lake Sector Study. Municipal services such as sewer and water will be extended to the site as will natural gas and power. Other municipal services such as policeand fire protection, transpor- tation systems are being planned as capacities warrant. The project Is consistent with urban development standards and growth plans of the City. 2. The site will require grading of many of the slopes to accommodate building and parking pads. The ponding areas on the site will remain Intact and with proper drainage engineering should retain their present characteristics. The site is bordered on the northwest , . north and east sides by 169/212 and Co.Rd. 18. 3. The development will be characterized by low key office and office/ warehouse uses, maintaining much of the natural landforms and tree stands. The project will respect the natural hydrologic system -and is Consistent with City growth plans, therefore, it is of no more than local significance. -11b- 510- 2.
